kind of embarrassing to get angry over someone announcing a 7pool

there needs to be a BM handbook or something because if drawing a pylon heart is bad mannered you girls need to grow some thicker skin

Update: Team Energy has been removed from the qualifiers due to bad manners. I've received multiple complaints from teams about how they run their clan wars and in the qualifiers it's not worth keeping around a team with this sort of attitude. They will be banned from SGL Season 1, 2 and 3 and they will not participate in SGL Season 1.

if 7 pool into proxy hatch is a strat that catz normally does, and is not just used to BM go.go style, then catz definitely was not at all BM until after Ahhboxxah told him not to BM. After that he was too bm imo even tho he could have just said i wasnt bming, thats just my strat, then there would be no problem!

Wow like jianfei said. In sports many fighters/players do a lot of prefight/pregame hype. And even after the fact there is cocky ness and edging on opposition. It creates a lot of entertainment... Its stupid. When you watch UFC for example, tito ortiz was super famous from his antics, he would call people on, talk trash, than do the same after. Dont know i just think its stupid.

Catz building hatch on bamboo's nat =no BM.
Ahhboxxah = bm
Catz's reply = really bad bm

Officials banning NRG and not Root = favoritisim and really really bad BM.

If this is in the context of one clan having multiple warnings, then it makes sense. If rules are in place in a league, you need to enforce the rules, otherwise people will take advantage of them. It's the same concept that at TL, there's a general standard that we expect others to treat others with respect.

The 3 season ban seems a bit harsh, I think for a first non-warning offense, it should be a disqualification. Jumping to a ban is rather extreme...

*Taken from the site as of reading this*

Team NrG's SGL Penalty Points: 0.0

NrG Team Info on SGL Site

Assuming there were any prior issues there ("should") would be points here. At the very least you'd think the admin team would deduct penalty point(s) and make a statement. An outright removal of a team over something so incredibly petty is absolutely horrible administrating and definitely does not bode well for the future of this league within the community.

Also, personally, none of these players were "bm." Trash talking is part of the game and has been for the past 10years of SC/War3 and countless years of gaming before that. If you don't like it (as a league/admin) then just prohibit speaking to your opponent beyond "gg/gl/hf." Pretty simple.

I think CatZ should have been DQ'd immediately once he said he's going 7pool.


Why can't you say what build you are going, true or not? The opponent could have easily replied, "I'm doing a 2 gate rush." It's not like CatZ gains an unfair advantage here.

This isn't drama at all. Kind of immature posting something like this to create even more drama. Like in school when you tell your teacher that someone is teasing your friend. Just ignore and move on.

Both players participated in some bm but it's nothing that a whole team should be banned for.... I mean if they want to discourage bm then DQ' both Catz and Boxxah for the first week of SGL or something.

Banning team NrG completely? Completely ridiculous. Teams with hackers in them get a lesser punishment... (using sc1 as a precedent)

Any league admin who supports a decision of his with "because it's my league" just sucks. A lot.

I don't think you should be allowed to really talk in game at all, it seems sort of bm. However, what catZ did seems less BM than the verbal attack, because catZ didn't do anything bad (proxy hatch after a game is over doesn't really mean much).

*edit* the reply from catz is bm
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

How is it unfair? It's not like your not allowed to go 7 pool unless you first announce it? Mind games are a big part of SCII and this is just another one. If you have watched a CatZ game in the last 2 weeks you would KNOW he's 7 pooling on Steppes even if he didn't say it. Bad scouting of opponents, which imo is one of the biggest problems plaguing players right now.

What? Is this a joke? Saying shit during the game to your opponent isn't mindgame. It's a bad taste. It should just not be allowed - especially in a clan war or tournament setting.

Whatever, it's not the issue. If you're going to disallow it fine, but make sure it's well known in advance etc. The rules don't stipulate that you need to be quiet all game so what Catz did is fine.

Yeah I know it's not the issue but I was just refuting talking during game like that is a legitimate part of "SC2 mindgame." He shouldn't receive some harsh punishment or something for it, but it's not exactly "fine." It's not fine. Forget the rules, it's common sense and common courtesy.
